Public bug reported: Hi guys,
apprently my box overheats under high load with more-than-moderate environment temperatures, which triggers the kernel (correctly!) to throttle the CPU. Apparently, this throttling (or some data transfer/DRM issue?) causes the GPU to hang/lose communication (kernel bug? see dmesg. MCE is just talking about temparature recovery), which causes Xorg to misbehave. Both displays go black (from top to bottom, one after another), and come back again, and after that everything is horribly slow, Xorg uses 90something% of the CPU, and otherwise everything seems fine. Switchtig to a VT is bearible and stops Xorg from using CPU, killing it makes lightdm bring it up again and everything is seemingly fine. Same behaviour repeats soon unless load conditions are relaxed. So, this might be two bugs: one for the kernel to let the GPU hang / don't handle this more smartly; one for Xorg to start consuming CPU like crazy after this happened. Please link this bug to the proper packages, and maybe link it to other i915_hangcheck bugs, too. Cheers, count ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-26.38-generic 3.8.13.2 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-26-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,resize,snap,grid,gnomecompat,place,regex,vpswitch,imgpng,session,mousepoll,unitymtgrabhandles,move,animation,workarounds,wall,fade,scale,expo,ezoom,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Fri Aug 2 19:31:27 2013 DistUpgraded: 2013-05-04 19:48:39,692 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: raring DistroVariant: ubuntu DpkgLog: ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0126] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:21da] MachineType: LENOVO 42914BG MarkForUpload: True ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.8.0-26-generic root=/dev/mapper/encrypted-root ro splash crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M quiet splash pcie_aspm=force vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-05-04 (89 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 12/01/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 8DET56WW (1.26 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 42914BG dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr8DET56WW(1.26):bd12/01/2011:svnLENOVO:pn42914BG:pvrThinkPadX220:rvnLENOVO:rn42914BG:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 42914BG dmi.product.version: ThinkPad X220 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.9~daily13.06.19~13.04-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs 20090808ubuntu36 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.43-0ubuntu1.1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 9.1.3-0ubuntu0.3 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 9.1.3-0ubuntu0.3 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu6 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.7.3-0ubuntu2b2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.1.0-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.21.6-0ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.7-0ubuntu1 xserver.bootTime: Fri Aug 2 19:29:09 2013 xserver.configfile: default xserver.errors: xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.version: 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu6 xserver.video_driver: intel ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug compiz-0.9 i915 performance raring ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1207846 Title: Xorg uses max CPU after drm:i915_hangcheck_hung To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1207846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
